Energy mini journey - gather information
Reducing energy not only helps the environment, but reduces your costs. This is a hand-picked list of the energy actions that can make the biggest impact.
To save these actions, sign in or create an account with Sustainability Support for Education.
Collect Scope 1 and 2 data
Gather information on your setting's energy consumption. You can collect this data by checking energy bills, meters, or asking your utility company to help you.
Analyse Scope 1 and 2 data
Analyse the information you have collected on your setting's energy consumption (Scope 1 and 2). This will help you to understand your data and trends in your energy use.
Identify some quick wins to decarbonise your setting
Look for relatively easy and low-cost measures to help your setting reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, like switching to LED lighting.
Complete an energy review
An energy review assesses your setting's energy consumption patterns, sources, and efficiency levels. It involves doing a walk-through of your site, and analysing your energy bills.
Review your energy supply arrangements
Review your current energy supply arrangements so that they support your sustainability goals.
